Cybersecurity staffing factoring

When the incident hits, your client needs people today. You need cash just as fast.

Security engineers, zero trust architects, IAM specialists and SOC and GRC consultants get placed fast because the work cannot wait. Turn approved timecards and SOW milestones into cash in as little as 24 hours. The company that owes you money gets the credit check. Not you.

The problem

Security spend does not wait for net 60.

Your engineers get paid weekly. Your enterprise and government clients pay on net 30 to net 60 terms, sometimes longer. Every incident response engagement or managed security contract widens the gap between what you have billed and what you can actually spend.

What you'll need

Four documents, nothing more.

  • A short factoring application
  • Your current A/R aging report
  • Your top 5 clients, legal name and address
  • One to three invoices with timecards, work tickets or SOW sign off
Start your application

Why it funds well

Built around how security firms actually bill.

  • Covers the full stack. Zero trust, IAM, DevSecOps, SOC, GRC and penetration testing placements all qualify.
  • Spend clients rarely cut. Security budgets tend to hold up even when other line items get trimmed.
  • Works at any size. Companies with 50 to 500 employees fund just as well as larger enterprise shops.
  • Partners who know the work. We route your file to funders who already understand how incident response and managed security engagements get billed.
  • Protection if you want it. Some funding partners offer a program where you are covered if your customer never pays.

How it can play out

A hypothetical example.

A ten person security staffing firm signs a six month incident response contract with a mid size hospital system. The client pays on net 45 terms, but the contractors get paid weekly starting the first Friday. Factoring the first invoice puts cash in the account before payroll comes due again, and every invoice after that follows the same rhythm.

Illustrative example. Actual terms depend on your file and your funding partner.

What you get

Built to match how you invoice.

Payroll matched to billing

Fund approved invoices as you bill, so payroll isn't waiting on an accounts payable department.

Funding that grows with you

Available funding rises with your client roster and billing, with no fixed line to renegotiate.

Client credit checks

Know an enterprise client's payment reputation before you staff the project.

Keep your equity

No investors, no bank covenants, no dilution.

Selective factoring

Many programs let you factor some clients and not others.

Built for deliverable work

Signed timecards, closed work tickets and SOW sign offs are exactly what funding partners want to see.

The payroll math

One contract, eight weeks of payroll.

You staff the engagement the day the contract is signed. Contractors get paid every Friday. The client's first invoice clears two months later on net 60 terms. Every new engagement widens the gap until factoring closes it.

  • Fund as you bill, so payroll stops depending on someone else's AP calendar.
  • Take the engagement you'd otherwise pass on because the cash wasn't there.
  • No dilution, no covenants: you keep the company.
Week 1Engineers start. You pay wages out of pocket.
Week 4You invoice the client. Terms are net 60.
Week 12Client pays, after you've covered 8+ payroll runs.

FAQ

Questions security firm owners ask us

Will factoring slow down an active engagement?

No. Once your account is set up, most funding partners verify and fund invoices within one to two business days, so cash keeps moving while the engagement is still active.

Do you work with newer security staffing firms?

Often yes. Funding partners look mainly at the strength of the client you are invoicing, so a newly formed firm with a strong enterprise or government client can still qualify.

Can I factor only some clients?

Yes, many programs allow selective factoring, so you choose which clients to factor and which to bill directly.

What does it cost?

Staffing factoring fees typically start around two to three percent for the first 30 days, with a smaller amount added for each additional 30 days the invoice stays open. Nordthane charges you nothing.
